Draw a deep breath and lock that jaw shut: if I had to offend mine eyes with silicon.com's roundup of old phones, so must you.
From 1984's $4,000 Dynatac (" the world's first proper mobile phone") to the foul hues of Ericcson's pre-Sony era handsets, these aghasts from the past lead inexorably to design errors of the present day, such as Nokia's pink, makeup-styled compact and the standard RIM Blackberry, which looks more like a recycled buttplug than nature's tiniest fruits.
Also, though I hear it praised all the time, screw the Startac. I actually had one, you know, and they stunk.
